UK's Labour shifts on Brexit, proposes staying in customs union
Brighton, England
BRITAIN could stay in a customs union with the European Union (EU) after leaving the bloc if Labour win power, the main opposition party said on Monday, putting pressure on Prime Minister Theresa May's divided government over Brexit.
Labour's Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer said the party was ready to be "the grown-ups in the room" and take charge of negotiations to leave the EU, cautioning against taking anything off the table when looking at Britain's future ties with the EU.
